Hawker Pacific, leading aircraft sales and product support company in Asia, Pacific and the Middle East, is thrilled to be representing Mahindra Aerospace at the first major event since being appointed as the authorised dealer for the GippsAero GA Airvan and GA10 utility aircraft for the ASEAN region.

At the 2013 Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) this week, Hawker Pacific will be located at Corporate Chalet CC05 and will be exhibiting its extensive network of FBO activities, sales and maintenance facilities across Asia. The recent partnership with Mahindra Aerospace will also see the two companies working closely at the event to grow awareness in ASEAN for the current GA8 and future products like the GA10.

Tony Jones, chief operating officer, Asia, said: “Mahindra Aerospace is a company that has manufactured in excess of 200 GA8 aircraft, which fly in 34 countries around the world, including the USA, Australia, Europe, Africa and Asia. We are delighted to have the opportunity to showcase our new partnership at LIMA, and we're particularly excited about the development of the G10 – which is absolutely ideal for utility and passenger operations in Malaysia and throughout the region – due to its rugged design. We're looking forward to talking more about it at the event.”

Hawker Pacific is moving forward to further expand its customer base in Malaysia, and will be unveiling more services under its portfolio in the coming weeks and months. These offerings are in response to customer demand and will be part of a broadening of services across the Asia Pacific.
